Disney has made additional Annual Passholder bonus park pass reservations available at the Walt Disney World theme parks into early November 2023.

The bonus reservation days are available at Disney's Animal Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios, EPCOT, and Magic Kingdom.

All four Walt Disney World theme parks are included in this latest bonus reservation release

Here are the latest dates, which come in addition to the previously announced bonus dates in late-October.

October 27 - Disney's Animal Kingdom
October 28 - EPCOT
October 29 - Disney's Hollywood Studios
October 30 - Magic Kingdom
November 1 - Disney's Animal Kingdom
November 2 - Magic Kingdom

Bonus reservations do not count towards your allotted number of reservations, which is very useful if you have a trip planned later in the year that is tying up your park pass allocation.

It takes me just as much time and effort to log on and see it is good to go. This reservation system was one of the big differentiators in the AP tiers aside from blackout dates. We rarely even use our reservations and have 5 of 5 available. I understand everyone is different but this whole thing is lame. It is so annoying that they never could incorporate it into the app and you had to launch a different website and log in again. They need to dump this lame system or add something as a tier level replacement to the AP program (free Photopass, etc.)

People have simply said its annoying, exactly like you yourself just stated in your post. I don't see anybody making mountains. Individually, the requirements you need to be on your phone for are not that frustrating, but when combined, it just gets ridiculous.

I mean, do you though? Unless you’re coming on a peak week, reservations are always available to make day of. Heck, my wife and I change ours the morning of often. I don’t disagree that making reservations is annoying, but some of y’all make mountains out of things that aren’t actually issues. It makes sense though, doesn’t it? CPs came from all over to work at Disney because they love Disney. Most don’t care to do anything on their off day except go enjoy the parks. With that said, man, what a scheme. “Come work for us! With the little you make, you’ll give us a portion back in rent. We also know you’ll spend a lot of what you make back with us in the parks.” It’s almost voluntary slave labor.

interesting I would also suspect they spend on average way less than annual passholders

It is way way more than that. CPers alone make up a good number on a daily basis.

The fact that CMs have to make a reservation is absolutely insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How many CMs are in a park on any given day? 50 or 100?. This is nuts but at least they can go again.

May the force NOT be with APers.

So far the good to go days for CMs have matched the AP days. CMs can see them on the calendar when they go to make a reservation.

Do good to go days apply to CMs as well? I thought it was only APs.

This one was surprising. I saw the news about the merchandise VQ on May 1st and my Dad wanted a reservation, but none were available (Main Entrance Pass). Then an hour later, it's a good to go day. Whatever, Disney. Why make this so annoying!

Notable. They must not be expecting a big crowd for DHS's 35th anniversary day.

Wow, May 4th unavailable for AP reservations at HS. I know it's May 4th, but it can't possibly be that busy given how slow it is this time of year. They just want to push AP's to other parks and/or don't want to staff HS enough to cover the demand. Shameful.
